| Usage: |
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase & ALK gene rearrangement (ALK+) is implicated in the oncogenesis of Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinomas (NSCLC) specially Adenocarcinomas. Patients with such tumors have been shown to respond to the ALK kinase inhibitor Crizotinib (Xalkori). Patients with ALK+ Anaplastic large cell lymphomas also show good response on treatment with Crizotinib. |
